Hello all,
I did a search to see if this has been mentioned yet and couldn't find anything. I also put in the Troo Music Lounge because so many bands (17 by my count) are playing both Sasquatch and Bonnaroo this year, and I figure those attending both can use the set times here to help determine who they plan to see at each.
The Sasquatch festival set times got released recently (6 weeks early!) and got virtually no fanfare on either their site or Inforoo. Additionally, the official website's set times are garbled, confusing, and just plain ugly. The times are listed per band, not per stage, and listed in a ridiculous format. So I took it upon myself to create an Excel spreadsheet, links below. If you don't believe the times here, check out the website. Official times may be off by 5 minutes so I could round off into 15-minute zones on my spreadsheets.
Of note, this appears to be the first multi-day festival I've attended where I'll be staying at one stage (the main one) during the entire festival. I guess I'm getting older and not as knowledgeable about the smaller bands anymore. Sigh.

No, it's not a joke. I do agree with you that the set lengths do seem to be on the short side. Headliners get 90 minutes, about 2 more/day get an hour, everyone else gets 35-45.

Headliners get an hour and a half only? And people badmouth bonnaroo? That's crazy. I'm glad I go to a fest where mostly every act gets at least an hour. They got a great lineup but short set times.....ouch
Sasquatch is a great, great festival...beautiful setting, awesome weather, smallish crowds...but the set times and food offerings leave a lot to be desired.
what's shocking is that Nine Inch Nails is playing before jane's addiction. Hope that's not what goes down when I see their own show with street sweeper....
Other shocking items: Street sweeper gets 15 minutes?? that's really weak sauce.
I'd like to go to sasquatch for the views etc, but when it comes down to I'm most interested in the music and 15-45 minute sets for interesting acts is just garbage. Doesn't even look like 90 minutes for the headliners, looks like 75!!!!

they had jane's listed higher than nin on their poster, so that's not surprising. on the tour, i'm pretty sure nin is playing last.
